With a new strain of deadly swine flu found in the United States, consumers should take steps to prevent infection. With a possible vaccine months away, individuals can today reduce their risk of illness by improving hygiene and strengthening their immune systems.

“Everyone should be extra-cautious in these times,” said Greens+ executive Christopher Daniels. “That includes keeping your immune system strong.”

Immune Guard from GREENS+ has been clinically proven to lessen the incidence and duration of cold and flu symptoms and enhance immune system function. A University of Florida 2006 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial showed that Immune Guard reduces:

• Incidence of cold and flu symptoms by more than 30%
• Duration of cold and flu symptom days by more than 30%
• Fever over 50%
• Nausea over 50%
• Sore throat over 30%
• Cough over 30%
• Runny nose over 30%
• Diarrhea over 60%

Two capsules contain the active ingredients in 10 cups of decaffeinated green tea.

Current flu vaccines are ineffective in battling the new strain of swine flu called H1N1, the Centers for Disease Control said April 27. CDC officials advised citizens to practice better preventive hygiene, such as constant hand washing and use of skin sanitizers.
